Kondorfa: Birth Records
from the Roman Catholic Church Records at Őriszentpéter, Vas Megye

This database is courtesy of BB member Jane Horvath, who published the data on her website www.janesgenes.site/ but also gave permission to the BB to republish it here. Kondorfa (German: Krottendorf), Hungary, is in Vas County near the Jennersdorf District.

The database consists of 1,385 birth records from 1855 to 1895. These records were documented by several different church officials, each with his own language preferences. The result is a mix of different spellings for the same names. A couple named Joannes and Sophia may be found listed in 1870, but two years later they have become Janos and Zsofi. To ease the search process, all first names have been converted to their Hungarian equivalents, without accented vowels. For example, the name “Stephen”, which would be spelled “Stephanus” in Latin, will be found in the spreadsheet as “Istvan”. Most surnames have also been adjusted. “Horvat” and “Horvath” are all spelled Horvath in the spreadsheet. Saafar, Safar, and Safaar, are all spelled “Safar”. Surname standardization was done using the spellings on the 1857 Cadastral map as a guide. If the spelling is unclear, a standard wildcard search can help. Please refer to the microfilm and slide numbers (last 2 columns) to view the entire record and verify the accuracy of the information.

Jane also provides an 1857 House/Landowner List and a map of the town on her site (see link above); her house list appears on the BB site here: the-burgenland-bunch.org/HouseList/.../Kondorfa.htm.
